UNITED STATES PATENT OiF'Flt:

'SYRINGE.

Application filed August 29, 1921.

T 0 all 2.0 ham it may concern Be it known that 1, CHARLES A. F nrrrnns, .citizen of the United States, residing at lVashington, in the District of Columbia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Syringes, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

The invention relates to syringes, particularly adapted for enemas, and has for its object to provide a device of this character wherein all of the parts including the water receptacle and the seat on which the operator sits are formed from sheet metal, preferably aluminum, thereby allowing the device as a whole to be sterilized by boiling.

A further object is to provide the upper section of the water receptacle with threads at its ends, which threads when the receptacle is collapsed receive the seat member which forms a cover for the receptacle, and a bottom member which forms a bottom for the receptacle, thereby housing the receptacle in collapsed condition, and in such a manner that the water feeding hose and dis charge nozzle may be stored within the collapsed receptacle.

A further object is to provide means whereby the upper section of the collapsible water receptacle may be utilized as a water heating receptacle.

lVith the above and other objects in view the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts as hereinafter set forth, shown in the drawings, described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention may be made within the scope of what is claimed without departing from the spirit of the invention.

In the drawings Figure 1 is a side elevation of the device, showing the same in collapsed position for storage purposes.

Figure 2 is a perspective view of the device, showing the water receptacle extended and the seat positioned for use.

Figure 3 is a side elevation of the seat.

Figure 4 is a perspective view of the bottom member. I

of the upper section of the water receptacle, showing the bottom screwed thereon and said section and bottom used as awater heating receptacle. Figure 6 is an enlarged vertical cross section through the device, showing the same Serial No. 496,365.

in collapsed position for storage purposes.

Referring to the drawings, the numeral 1 designates a water receiving receptacle, which receptacle comprises the outer annular member 2, intermediate annular memhere 3 and a, and the bottom forming member 5, which bottom forming member has its bottom closed. The bottom forming member .5 has its upper edge provided with thread 6, which thread when the sections are extended is received in the thread 2' of the intermediate annular member a, which intermediate annular member has its upper end provided with thread 8, which is received by the thread 9 at the lower end of the other intermediate section 3, when the sections are extended. Intermediate section 3 at its upper end is provided with thread 10, which thread when the sections areextended is received by the thread 11 carried by the lower end of the upper annular member 2; thus it will be seen that when the sections 2, 3, 4 and 5 are extended a water receiving and holding receptacle is formed, which receptacle may be easily extended and collapsed as desired, and also one formed from metal which will stand sterilization under high temperature, which is impossible where rubber is used. The upper section 2 is provided with apertures 12, which apertures receive hooks 13 of a supporting'chain 14:, which may be suspended in any suitable manner from a nail .or the like.

The thread 11 at the lower end of the annular section 2., when the device is col lapsed as shown inFigure 6, receives the threaded flange 15 of a bottom member 16, which member forms a bottom for the device when the same is collapsed as shown in Figure 6. When the device is collapsed as shown in Figure 6, a cover 17 is placed thereon. The cover 17 is provided with a threaded flange 18 which is received by the threads 19, carried by the upper end of the annular section 2. It will be seen that the receptacle is collapsed into a compact form for storage purposes and in such a manner that foreign matter is excluded. Also that the device may be easily and quickly set up for use by simply removing the bottom 16 and cover 17.

The cover 17 is provided with a concaved upper side, which merges into a centrally disposed upwardly extending semi-spherical portion2l, which portion is provided with a centrally disposed threaded aperture 22,

which aperture receives a vertically disposed discharge nozzle 23, which nozzle when the operator is seated on the cover 17, after the same has been removed and placed in position as shown in Figure 2, is received in the rectum. Extending downwardly from the under side of the semi-spherical portion 21 of the cover is an L-shaped pipe 2%, to the end 25 of which a pipe 26 may be connected, said pipe extending outwardly through an aperture 26 in the threaded flange 18 of the cover 17, and is connected to a second pipe 27 by means of a glass nipple 28, said pipe 27 being in turn connected to the nipple 29, through which nipple, pipe 27, nipple 28, pipe 26, L-shaped pipe 24 and discharge nozzle 23, liquid from the receptacle 1 flows. During the operation the operator may control the flow of water by squeezing the pipe 26 or 27, and the operator may also by obseiwing the glass nipple 28 ascertain when the water has b" en entirely discharged from the receptacle 1.

When it is desired to heat water for use over a lamp 30, the bottom 16 is screwed on the lower end of the annular section 2 thereby forming a receptacle which may be disposed over the lamp as shown in Figure 5. he section 2 is provided with a toldable handle 31 so that the same may be easily handled during a water heating operation, and said handle may be folded to a point adjacent the side of the annular section 2. VJ hen the device is in collapsed position the lamp 30, pipe 27, nipple 28, pipe 26 and nozzle 23 may be disposed within the lower section 5 for storage purposes; and also the chain 14 after it has been unhookcd from the upper section 2. v

The invention having been set, forth what is claimed as new and useful is 1. A device of the character described comprising va receptacle formed from a plurality of detachably connected collapsible sections, said sections telescopically engaging each other, a cover on the upper end of the outer section, said cover forming a seat for the operator and having means whereby a nozzle may be received and liquid conveyed to the nozzle.

8. A device of the character described comprising a receptacle formed from a plurality of telescopically disposed and detachably connected sections, said sections being so proportioned in length that they will be re ceivcd within the outer section, means whereby a flanged bottom may be detachab ly connected to the lower end of the outer section, a cover for said outer section and received by the upper end thereof, a pipe extending downwardly from said cover providing a nozzle receiving aperture and means for attaching water supplying means.

comprising a collapsible receptacle formed from sheet metal, a'bott-om for said receptacle when in collapsed position, a top for said receptacle when in collapsed position, said top forming a seat for the operator when the device is in operation, a downwardly extending member having a passage therethrough, said member being carried by'the underside of the cover, means whereby a nozzle may be attached in the upper end of said passage, said cover having its upper side concaved annularly and convexed centrally, said nozzle receiving passage being disposed centrally ot the convexed portion of the cover.

4.. The combination'with} a collapsible metallic liquid receiving receptacle of the character described, of a top for said receptacle, said top having means to which a di. charge nozzle may be attached and forming a seat for the operator, and a pipe connection between the receptacle and the cover whereby water may supplied to'the nozzle.
